Dl·. Naylor's pet theory in T. to discuss the organization of
music teaching is the practice
of what he calls "debunking" the
course in music. I n this he shows
the student that a ll musical de­velopment
has its foundation in
sound ideas. He t hinks too that
people who like music should de­velop
their own musical in t er ests,
and not merely be satisfied by
lis tening to music produced by
their artists. One gets more out
of music if he t r ys to express

The Art Students' League a t
t he October 28 meeting consider­ed
the adoption of a democratic
plan which opens membership to
all students interested in art.
According to it, their interest
qualifies them. They do not need
to take art classes or be experi­enced
in drawing.
The League considers that if
this plan applied to all art orga­nizations
today it would do away
with much of t he isolation which
art leceives; would do away with
much of the cynicism with which
the ,layman approaches profound
movements and "periods" in art
theories. It would also help to
diminish the idea that artists
a re peculiar people. (Most of the
best look like businessmen.) Also,
art students need to associate
with people of other departments.
An lllterest for them in social
\york dramatics, music, ret a iling,
business, or nursing etc., would
do much to broaden their scope
and bring variety to their worle
Of course, the Art Students'
League is not altogether seri­ous-
minded and has its moments
of fun . But art is not altogether
serious either, but can have wit
and gaiety
